The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200608-05 (LibVNCServer: Authentication bypass)

LibVNCServer fails to properly validate protocol types effectively     letting users decide what protocol to use, such as 'Type 1 - None'.
LibVNCServer will accept this security type, even if it is not offered     by the server.

Impact :

An attacker could use this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access     with the privileges of the user running the VNC server.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
